my fear of being unemployed keeps me working hard

>>103018018
>Don't disclose your current salary to recruiters
Why?

Where could I live for a long time off of $100k while becoming fluent and getting residence then pivot to a new line of work? South America, SEA, somewhere else? I need a brown gf, warmer weather, and chill work

>>103018035
you sound american

>>103018104
Because the fuckers will now know your salary floor or they're gathering data to figure out the least amount of money they can pay someone for that role you applied for. Also, you're not getting that position. It's being reserved for an H1B after they're done rejecting every other candidate.

would it be a good idea to go for h1b but also get married asap so they can't pull the old slavery-oo on me

Bruh, I think I'm about to get fucked on this upcoming interview. It's suppose to be a 30 minute interview but there's another hour of time left for a technical assessment.

This wasn't in my notes when I asked about their interview process. I think they're trying to rush through it and get someone in before Thanksgiving. Motherfuckers.

>>103018018
Alrighty so I'm a relatively new guy in the field with around 1.7 years of experience as a s/w dev. My employer hasn't been able to get any new projects since the past year and most of us are sitting empty. On top of it my team lead talked shit about me to the tech lead, cuz I said that I won't 'keep testing code that others wrote' after doing so for 6 months continuously and being asked to create like 2 APIs roughly six months.

Not long after that, I got laid off.
My question is: on my last day of work they'll probs create a thread on MS Teams saying "goodbye anon". Should I write this while exiting? "Thanks guys, good luck to YOUS as well. Let's hope we get to have more appreciation for the work we have done, instead of waiting for 'x' client to say something good. Hoping for more of 'we appreciate your work' and less of 'the company can't trust you'. "

What do you say?

I'm 25 and got my trifecta and have the chance to get a Help Desk Job that pays like shit ($16) and has a 40 minute commute but is offering a Secret Level Clearance just under Top Secret.
I live in the east coast in the DMV area, recently started working a shitty sales job, but I'm making 55k.
It would take about 9 months to get the clearance if I take that Help Desk job.

Is it worth it?

>>103018035
same

>>103018518
getting one good zinger off is never really worth burning any bridges. your job search doesn't need to be any harder than it already is (it's already one of the hardest times historically speaking)

if you have any superiors or coworkers that are neutral or positive in regards to you, tell them you enjoyed working with them and that you tried your best yadayada, then ask if you can use them as a reference for your future applications. you might even want to include people you aren't sure if they like you. remember that the faster you get a job, the sooner they stop getting bugged by recruiters, so they are incentivized to help you get employed

>>103018518
>>103018603
actually idk if you really meant that message as really a negative one, but it sounds pretty sassy. generally people are very diplomatic when they get laid off for a good reason: to help their future employment

>>103018603
okay that's pretty good advice. i'll swallow my pride and take the L. thanks anon.
>>103018633
tis sassy for sure lel, not negative tho. all i wanted is to send a message. but i get your point, it's not worth it. i'll try and be diplomatic about it. you rock.

>>103018708
no problem. but i recognize the need to be heard after having a awful experience working somewhere. i recommend releasing some of that negative energy by talking to someone you trust about all your experiences, otherwise it may live on as baggage in the back of your head

I have 3 years of experience

Except the system relies on unlimited growth. If economic output is the same as it was years ago, that is the definition of the word recession you utter tard.

I had a recruiter berate my resume once in a phone screen and it was all part of his lowballing scheme. He said my resume was formatted wrong, then said I was on the lower end of role requirements, then said there were people with masters degrees applying for some reason. Still got an onsite, which I breezed through. Then he called me and said he couldn't offer what I was asking for and literally asked how low a salary I would accept. I didn't budge and predictably never heard anything more from him. I hate recruiters so goddamn much.

Dominos has stepped their game way up in recent years. It used to be slop but i guess they changed suppliers or something because their food is actually good now, and pretty decently priced.

I just wish they offered fries. I'd even take oven baked wedges. I dunno who at corporate was like "we should deliver PASTA" and keeps coming up with new chicken toppings but refuses to touch a potato ever.

UK is the only good country for immigrants really
all others just pretend citizenship means something when it's just window dressing for their autistic ethnic enclaves

I'm a junior and my coworkers are starting to give me more and more tickets as I'm getting less retarded progressively. I've pushed my first dev to prod last week, I'm pushing two more things next week. I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed as more crap is coming to me, it's a bit scary.

If you're going to get pizza Domino's has always been the best IMO.

Was hired as senior engineer but I really don't think I am meeting that bar. Afraid I'll get pushed out and that this cycle will continue at a new place. That is, I'll probably still be able to score senior interviews but I'll continue to flounder regardless. Unironically I think I just need to become a management slave.

Same. Domino's use to suck when I was a kid but they did become really good for what it is over the years. The affordability also makes it highly attractive. I can't stand Pizza Hut because of the grease and the food generally upsets my stomach after eating it. Papa John's is fine but it has a similar issue like Little Caesar's and it's when it gets cold it just sucks no matter what.

I still prefer my homemade pizza or from GOOD mom and pop shop but I'm not going to dog on Domino's.

The trick is to get your expenses down to nothing (I spend less than $1k a month now and am continuing to cut where I can) so you can dump your money into savings/investments and then work becomes less interesting.

You get fired, you get a six month vacation and your retirement account doesn't grow. When you're hired again you're relaxed.

Also, one more thing: it's better to put effort into fitting the key words (languages, technologies, etc) into your bullet points rather than trying to find a "smart" or "sophisticated" way of saying it. Other than the technical keywords, keep the rest of the language simple and make it flow. Ideally, most of your languages and frameworks would be a part of the bullets under eperience, and you won't even need a "Technical Skills" section. You can reduce it to a highlights section or list of of other stuff you couldnt' fit in below. It's better to say how you used a specific technology rather than to just list it. Don't worry about recruiters or hiring managers having to read ahead to find the technology, because they won't be doing that anyway, they'll filter based on whether the document even contains the keyword. Then, once they find resumes with the words, they'll look at them. When they see a big list at the top, they assume you're just trying to cheat the filter and might just skip your resume. When the words are mixed into experience bullets, it looks a lot more legit.

You will never be a real programmer. You have no commits, you have no pull requests, you have no public repos. You are a low IQ brown man twisted by an unearned comp sci degree and coding bootcamps into a crude mockery of nature's perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and from bots. Behind your back people say that you're a useless DEI hire. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “tech bros” laugh at you behind closed doors.

Real programmers are utterly repulsed by you. Even devs who “pass” have no creative output and excessively verbose with techno buzzwords. Your GitHub profile is a dead giveaway, and even if you manage to score a 3 month internship at a tech company, a real company will turn tail and bolt the second they see that you haven't completed any non school related projects.

You will never be happy. You cope by saying that your bullshit software is using a proprietary test framework so you can't open source it, but deep down you know it's because you don't want people to see your incompetence, and that the core of your software is actually an open source project which you're shamelessly profiting off.

Eventually it will be too much to bear. You'll buy a google gift card, a spoofed business phone number, and start scamming old people into redeeming.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

i actually wonder how it'll end up for them
all the kids at uni who were miles ahead of everyone else all had programmer or engineer parents and were taught that shit growing up
now imagine being able to prove that you're on another level from an accredited school
i can imagine all the companies trying to fill their entire roaster with these spergs so that "every employee is a 10x employee"

or maybe AI will be the great equalizer letting anyone with a passing knowledge in programming and algorithms able to be as decent as one of these super spergs. and "being able to program since 6" will be equivalent to "was taught how to speak spanish since 6"
just "meh"

Shrink the projects section, and fill the space with more details about what you did in the internship. Many employers disdain independent projects. They think work isn't real unless it results in somebody getting paid, even though whatever shitware they're building relies on mountains of open source libraries to be functional. At the very least, specify what the context of your projects were. Like
>Automated blah blah blah reducing manual effort by 12%
WHOSE manual effort, nigga? If you can't answer those questions, you're going to flunk the interview anyways. May as well be up front about what the purpose of your work was.

Also, make a second version of your resume that describes the exact tech stack used in your internship as parenthetical phrases within the job description itself, and use it for applying to jobs with the same stack. If the job you're applying to is kinda close but doesn't use the exact same stack you had in the internship, then change your resume on that application so it does. This sounds retarded, and it is, but the recruiter will spend less than 10 seconds looking at your resume and doesn't know what any of the words on it mean. They were just asked to find a java guru or whatever, they don't really care about this shit.

Spend your summers getting internship experience. FAGMAN internships are competitive because if you don't fuck up you have a fast track to getting hired when you graduate, but smaller tech company internships were completely non-competitive when I was in school, and it looks great on your resume.

Build up a nice green wall of commits on Github or a similar site that you can show off on your resume. People will rightfully tell you your Github profile doesn't mean shit after a few years of real experience, but for a new grad, it's one of very few ways you can actually differentiate yourself from the pack.

Most importantly, just keep going. Nobody knows what the job market will look like in 4 years. It could be great, or we could still be in a recession. You're not going to know until we get there, but worrying about it isn't going to change anything. The best you can do is set yourself up as best you can for success in 4 years.

It was pretty uneventful, he seemed genuinely shocked I was leaving but didn't get confrontational, just seemed upset because I'm the 5th person to leave in the last 4 months and I'm pretty sure his manager is unhappy with him. If anything he tried saying I never told him anything was going wrong, which isn't surprising because he doesn't listen to anything I tell him and just talks over me all the time. I just said "I disagree but it won't matter in two weeks anyway." Then the usual "Anything I can do to convince you to stay?" (the answer was "no") followed by "Alright well I'll submit the report to HR, best of luck" etc.

I signed off immediately afterward so who knows if there will be fallout tomorrow. I get along with my manager's manager so I imagine he'll want to talk about it. Also we've got some tight deadlines coming up and I'm sure I'll be pushed to make sure I hand everything off alright, but it's not my problem in a couple weeks so I'll just do the bare minimum and if anyone gives me shit I'll just ignore it.

But goddamn I feel powerful right now. Such a great feeling knowing all of those things that have been stressing me out forever might as well not exist anymore. Also fuck my manager I hope he gets fired.

>>103031659

Careful Pajeeta, you're too close to the water, you might wash the sacred crust off your hands.

>no one will hire me because im a retarded deranged furfag
what do i have to do to get a normal people l1 hell desk position

If I want to try to learn stuff because I'm insecure about my undergrad and slacking therein, is something like Nand-to-Tetris worth doing? Or should I focus on Jeetcode and just making stuff?

>>103035489
I thought T1 helpdesk was the designated furry slacking containment zone.

>sign up to some "coding for veterans" program
>"Tuition is $15,000 per stream, paid directly to the University of Ottawa."

why do these programs exist when i can go literally anywhere else, pay a fraction of the price, and get better credentials (assuming I can read and thus pass a python course) Literally going to McGill for some similar series of online bullshit "it's better than Net+ and just like CS but faster we swear" works out to only 7k.

nvm i know why its to do the fabled Quaduple Dip; collect pension twice, get "medical pension" on top, and then start some bullshit company to siphon government money into your pocket directly from current gormless members (its not fraud if it's not gubberment contracts and is instead voluntary payments from serving members)

maybe its just me being a deranged loser but it feels impossible. And on top of the current job market where I need TS, a CDL, and CISSP membership, even where i work now i have next to zero presence, what few taskings are interesting that I ask for I get skirted around, and even when I was working full-time I was a glorified babysitter. At this rate, I may as well go sailing again.

even my few regular "achievements" are dwindling, this year the literal only thing I can say I did and did well was make top shot once. I haven't done shit. Maybe that's a me problem for not volunteering more, but I don't work for free, and it's not like I ever did much more than maintenance as the IT guy. And I lost that gig because they got a reg force parachute

It's all one big scam. You have to pay to work, and work doesn't pay.

Do normies really think leetcode is hard?

I just started trying it and I'm getting mediums first try in like 5 mins.

>>103035624

you serious? leetcode hard is pretty difficult.

>>103035624
Most people don't code and don't know esoteric data algorithms. 99% of modern coding doesn't deal with that stuff -- the reason programming languages even exist is to have that stuff be boilerplate you never have to care about. Otherwise, we'd all still be burning individual lines between transistors out on FPGAs

>>103035624
Normies can't even roll their own crypto.

>>103035657
this but unironically

no one should even interview anyone who hasn’t accomplished anything. ever. certificates and degrees are not accomplishments; i mean real-world projects with real-world users.

there is no excuse for software (((developers))) who don’t have a coin they can point to and say, “I did this, all by myself!” in a world where Monero and Coinbase have free service tiers, and it costs all of $25 to register as an developer and initiate a blockchain

Please get shot.

The reason no one wants to hire you is you are a bitter asshole with no skills.

by then the line will be going up again and rate cuts will be in full force

>Whenever there's a new hire he gets like half year training at whatever place I work
>I'm minority, nobody ever cared to train me, and I always get jobs that I'm overqualified for getting bored
>I always have to "prove myself"
>Still have to handhold guys who get job for "being clever and fast-learner" and ask basic shit that makes them obviously clueless
>they still get paid more than me or have easier time jumping jobs

We need equality on this not to hire DEI instagram project managers.
